The ICRA Challenge Committee is seeking events for the 2011 Robot Challenge that will take place as part of ICRA 2011 in Shanghai, China. We will continue to offer the Virtual Manufacturing Challenge and Microrobot Challenge and would like to feature a new event. Interested parties should send a maximum one-page write-up to robosim at nist.gov that provides details on:
1) The research objectives of your new proposed challenge.
2) The competition format (i.e. how will the competition be organized and run).
3) A list of teams and institutions that are likely to participate.
4) Infrastructure requirements.
The write-up should be received by the ICRA competitions committee no later than November 5, 2010.
